Replying to: sagechicken (Jun 26, 2005 5:14 pm) Nonetheless, I'm not sure why it would be much different than when a military person moves overseas and have their used vehicle imported for them. Especially, if you live in a state like Alabama where there is no emission testing or vehicle inspections. Something to explore because I would like to import a reasonbly priced Defender if possible

I just got one of these babies...But it came with the book, but it is all in different metric tables. Does anyone here know the specs on this thing? For example, horsepower, engine size, miles per gallon and how big the gas tank is, and other specs like wheel base and so forth? It would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: simmo (May 05, 2005 9:56 am) Guy's, the defender needs to come back to the states with diesel engines and in all variations. Especially the Hi-Cap pick ups. Do you know how many people drive trucks in this country? Bringing the defender back with the diesel option in all variations would be a great move. For the company and for the LR purists. And you don't have to make cost 50,000.00 dollars either! get this to the big guys! Thank you, Chris

Replying to: cwalker2 (Oct 10, 2005 7:40 pm) I totally hear you! I had a 1972 Land-Rover short wheel base in college. I continue to drive my 1989 Range Rover Classic. I can't say that the new LR3 or the RR Sport makes me want to get interested in Land Rover's again. I don't have your money, but I defenately would pay a premium for LR, as yo mention, a history and just a good all round truck. A note, even the US special forces use Land Rovers alot. Hummers are design to tow guns and stuff. Not a real people moving in close situation, such as streets or the forests. I heard they just can't put an airbag in the thing. Souds stupid to me, but that's the British! As for a diesel, I've decided my next car/truck will have to be one, as I think we are heading the way of Europe with high fuel costs. And the posibility of running Biodiesel. I heard that the main reason the diesels are not here, is becuase the US diesel is dirty. Only VW has an engine that will run on our dirty fuel. In 2006, the diesel will be cleaned up, and parent Ford is making noise, and is tooling up to manufacture v6 and v8 diesels for the USA, and -- for Land Rover! Here's a cool link to a drawing I saw of a future 2007 Defender. You do know, they are bringing it back in 2007 as a 2008 model? Or is it 2006. http://www.landrover-center.com/default.asp and the picture: http://www.landrover-center.com/mnimageview.asp?newsID=234&img=pic1 Granted, the picture is styleized, but you get the idea. I think they are trying to keep the spirt of the Defender. Even though it looks like a cartoon. Let's hope for the best! Or, we just keep going back to East Coast Rover, and life goes on. By the way, you can import most any car to the USA, if it's 25 years or olders. The first Defender was made in what, 1984? Ed |
